Smuggling missions now pointless.

[Vasious]

Exactly so everyone's opinion is as valid as the other, just because you like to treat this game like a second job is fine by me just as the way I play the is just ok. You will notice in none of my posts about this was it ever about having the best being the best it was about a set of missions that actually made me enjoy the game (with a whole lot of other people) and this wasnt balanced but nuked. Unfortunately I haven't played much at all since the nuke which is a shame but I just don't find running trash for 20k a time fun anymore.
You might and I have no problem with that at all but I find it just a mind boringly repetative exercise. I made exactly 4.2 million over 2 weeks of smuggling missions so I wasn't greedy but god I was having fun.

Which actually makes me a lucky one, as I never did any of the High priced long range smuggling missions, I can still find the current ones as fun, without them being diminished.\So it is a shame the nerf has resulted in less fun for people overall by the perceived loss

Neither did I , I could have farmed at a res for more money than I made smuggling (not saying other people didn't abuse it because they did) or should I say it was comparable but it was fun hot footing it across the galaxy with a cargo of hot loot being chased by various npc's and players and then trying to blast into the station at full speed without crashing. e.g it was "fun"]


Now I get to deliver a hot load of washing up powder to a station in the same system with my zimmerframe loaded in the back for the princely price of 8k credits. Tried a couple nearly burst with the excitement I had to stop playing.

No, but these are the ED forums. Back some patches everyone screamed the Python was nerfed to pointlessness too. Don't hear much about it now...

That is because everyone has moved on to other combat ships, and use thier Pythons as a multi role ship rather than a goto combat ship. We now have the FDL, and FAS, which on paper are not as good, but the boost in agility and speed can cells that out
